JACKSONVILLE, Fla. – A teenager was shot twice Sunday afternoon at an apartment complex on King Street, according to the Jacksonville Sheriff’s Office.
The juvenile boy was found at the Hollybrook Home Apartments suffering from a gunshot wound to his right leg and he was grazed by a bullet on his upper left leg, police said.
The juvenile was taken to the hospital with non-life-threatening injuries.
Since he was undergoing medical treatment, the police did not have a chance to talk with him about the incident.
JSO does not know the motive for this shooting or has suspect information at this time. The investigation is ongoing.
If you have any information about this shooting, call 904-630-0500 or Crime Stoppers at 866-845-TIPS.
While News4JAX was still on the scene just before 10 p.m., crews saw multiple police cars and cruisers flying down King Street coming to the same apartment complex where the afternoon shooting occurred.
They also heard officers using the intercom to ask someone to come out of an apartment unit with their hands up and surrender. Officers were seen walking around the complex with guns drawn and the K9 unit was out as well.
It’s unclear if the current situation is connected to the shooting.
